Slow Steady Decline

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Culture is fairly good and diverse workforce

Cons

Inexperienced management team has a negative effect on individual contributors - Raising issues is met with harsh criticism and risk of discontinued employment. Lots of attrition and lateral movement across teams due to dis-satisfaction with management, causing teams to have to "start over" frequently ... this reduces the quality of the product and slows innovation. New employees often receive little to no on-boarding.

Pros

Good work life balance, fun team and managers really seem to care about you and your happiness. If you want to work harder, your manager will definitely help you. If you’re interested in other projects and technologies, your manager will do his/her best to help you out. Overall, it’s a great place to learn from smart engineers, and grow as a person.

Cons

No free lunch, but there is a lot of on campus dining options that makes it okay.

Pros

Management place importance on a good company culture, with an employee first approach that actually implement. 1-on1's with my manager were always constructive and open. Opportunities to move departments, and for career progression. Competitive salary and RSU's. Opportunity to work with new technologies and to contribute to the selection of stack for greenfield projects.

Cons

If you're in a role that is mostly Xpresso(WDay proprietary language), it can limit your career prospects.
